Well my friends............... Happy Sunday !!! SOULFUL SUNDAY that is .................

I decided to spend the day in prayer and thought of others etc... I thought .. I am heading to the BEACH ... so I can (SEA) clearly .  driving down 146 before I reach the ISLAND I always see the shrimping boats or these boats and I just love them. I love how hard these men and woman work to provide for their families.. I am usually zooming by to get on that bridge and cant pull over to take the picture of these boats that I always look at..SOOOOOOOOOOOO today I pulled over (thank the lord for Safe Picture taking and I took this from the little bridge.. I LOVED it . I stood there and looking thru my lense was just beauty to me.. The wind was blowing and I could hear the Sea Gulls squawking .. Just loved the Calm(ness) of it all ............

Now I have heard stories of people planting this sort of Grassy Mossy stuff in this area... BUT .. This old girl has been planted there for awhile. ..I bet she was a BEAUTY back in her day .. I want them to fix her up .. Seems like a waist to me... :(

 

Marti Gra is in full force on the ISLAND right now.. They are getting ready for the bead throwing parties and parades... This town eats, sleeps and breathes Marti Gra this time of the year... This was taken in one of the shops.. They even have their girls dolled up and getting dressed with the beads........

 

And finally .............My friend (The Sea) !!!

 

some say because she is not BLUE , Green that she is not worthy .. I say they can find another Island.. I love this place!!! I love these colors. THEY are PURE and they are SIMPLE and they are calming.. This Sea can tell stories if you listen .

 

I sat here for a long time and thought about things, Prayed about things. There were people out and about laughing ..But the beach was not crowded today .. Was very peaceful and the ones that were out RESPECTED her and seemed to enjoy her beauty as I did !!! I grew up near here and spent many of my highschool days on this very beach. I still love coming here. WHEN my babies were born we spent many days here building sand castles you name it. Boyfriends, dates , My friends, family time. I have so many memories .. BUT I must say those are all my favorite memories and  right along with the time ALONE that I spend.. Some people meditate .. I listen and watch.. Feels like I went to a far away land or spa.. NO better medicine.. It does cure anything that bothers you !!!!

 

 

This young family enjoyed the beach with their little one.. I could here the little one giggling ..was so awesome to see new eyes learn to love the ocean.. YOU think I wonder do they live here or are they visiting etc.. PEOPLE watching stuff and It was good to see kids enjoying the beach ...

 

Then the bike riders came out and  they seemed to fill the sea wall after awhile..

 

 

 

Then I saw this man carrying his little ones ... HE walked for miles it seemed down the Sea Wall with these kids in his hands.. I thought wow .. I know he had to be exhausted .. But those kids were full of JOY !!!

 

Then back to MY SEA !!! >NOTICE I claim it as mine.. I do really feel like it is a gift from GOD .. No one can build on it .. WELL you know what I mean. I know that their are structures etc.. BUT for the most part its JUST ours to LOVE .... (meaning all of us)..... The scripture that keeps coming to mind is ..................Today is the DAY that the LORD has made... BE glad and REJOICE in it !!

That is exactly what I did ................. Thank you Jesus for all your blessings.. As we move into the next week .. My prayer is that your all blessed !!!!!!!!!!!! HUGS from Sherry @ The Rusty Pearl
